"We have become a mobile computing center with 1.5 km of cable, more than 50 control units, and more than 20 of advanced components," said Winterkorn in Hanover on the eve of the CeBIT trade fair. Now we are facing a huge challenge is to make the car more intelligent, and more with the IT industry to achieve networking. ”

"Automated or driverless vehicles must be built within the necessary framework of infrastructure and law." "he said. For example, in a highly automated car accident, who is to blame: the manufacturer or the person monitoring the control? "The auto industry, IT industry, business, scientists and politicians need to create a resultant force." "Winterkorn to 2,500 listeners, including Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron, Lower Saxony state Minister Stephan Weil, Volkswagen's shareholders and industry leaders.

Germany's intention is to continue to maintain its central position in car development and production, with Volkswagen in Wolfsburg, whose goal is to become a leader in auto systems by 2018, which is now among the top three, followed by Toyota and General Motors.

When the driver is straying into another lane, or is too close to the vehicle, or seems to be getting sleepy, we have not developed any technology to alert the driver, Winterkorn said: "We want to protect our customers from the misuse of their data." I want to say "yes" to the big data clearly, "yes" for higher security and convenience, rather than paternalistic, Big Brother style. "At this point, the whole industry should be." ”

The Germans are particularly sensitive to government surveillance reports. And as hackers become more complex and flexible, they pose a threat. American University researchers say it's hard for hackers to crack a car-it's expensive and requires a lot of expertise-but it's possible.

Volkswagen spends 3.8 billion euros (nearly 5 billion dollars) a year on information technology, employing 9300 IT specialists for the "James 2025" program, a prospective study of future virtual cabins. When the autopilot mode is activated, the steering wheel and seat position changes, and the large central screen will give details of all occupants of any planned driving operation. When the autopilot mode is activated, the steering wheel and seat position change, and the large central screen gives the driver any driving plans and details. The information entertainment function is provided with the second screen of the touchpad Operation console. The head of government will take a peek.
